6 week post-op

I just had my 6 week post op appointment and everything is going swimmingly. I've been cleared to resume all my normal activities, including wearing underwire bras and lifting weights. My breasts still have a lot of dropping to do, but my PS said that they're pretty much the size that they're going to be, which is great because the bras that I (naively) bought 2 weeks post-op still fit. So I guess I'll actually be a 30DDD/32DD.
They're super soft and they're supposed to get even softer. They don't have a lot of bounce yet, but I can move them around pretty much like natural breasts. My scars are still pretty hard, but they look good and have flattened out nicely.

Scars and Silicone Sheets
toridcxDecember 2, 2015
I cannot express how extremely impressed I am by these silicone scar sheets. I've been using them for only about a week, nearly 24 hours a day, and my scars have shown a massive improvement already. They are already flat and much softer, and look awesome aside from the dry peely skin along the incision. I'm actually so impressed, and they're completely concealed in my breast fold when I'm upright, so that's great.
My breasts are a little bit of a different story. They still haven't dropped much, and are still slightly swollen on top, although they are very soft and realistic feeling. They move fairly naturally and are a lot less tender to the touch than last week.
The bad news is that I have a massive break out of acne in my cleavage area. I'm talking like 2 dozen tiny pimples in between my breasts and they itch and they're ugly and painful. I looked online and saw this is a somewhat common problem among some women due to the skin stretching and drying out, but it's so frustrating because it's visible in any low cut top and I've never had acne in that area before. Right now I'm using my face wash and clarisonic to clean that area like I clean my face, and I've been applying low dose Retin-A to hopefully end the break out and reduce the pigmentation.
I feel generally back to normal, I'm still a little weak using my pec muscles, and I get a strange stretching pain along my ribs underneath my incision during certain movements, but I'm almost clear to resume all normal activities.

I'm using the scar strips too I love them! Wishing you the best you may just need to give yourself more time as you are young and your body wasn't previously stretched.

Thank you so much, I feel better reading your comments. And to be honest I was a bit dubious about if the scar sheets would even help, and they're actually like magic.

I know I felt the same way about them but even my surgeon was impressed. I know it's hard to be patient with the dropping and all but honestly gravity brings everything down with time. Mine dropped to where they were suppose to but now I'm worried that they will become too low in the future but I started out a little saggy before implants. So try not to get in your head about it and think of the great cleavage you have without a bra!

Your scars are looking great! I think the sheets put a little pressure on the site and that helps them stay flat and heal.
Yes, still lots of dropping to do and I agree that it's probably because you have young skin and just takes longer. Have you ever read through fancyandiknowit's review? Her breasts took awhile to heal and drop and now they are some of the most gorgeous breasts around! Keep the faith!!

Wow your scars look great! I had been debating about getting the scar sheets (I'm 2 weeks post-op) since I've read mixed reviews about them, but I think I'll go ahead and get them now :).
And I've also had break-outs over my cleavage area!! I'm kind of relieved to hear other someone else has experienced them too haha, but yea it's really annoying :(. I've been using a salicylic acid wipe on them 2x a day. I have retin-A for facial acne but haven't tried it on my boobs yet. Let me know how that goes for you!

Yeah I think the scar sheets are worth it, plus they protect the scars from underwire and other pressure from bras. I use the Scar Away brand and I just cut one sheet in half to use one half on each scar for a week, and I just take them off when I'm working out or showering.
The retin-a actually did work really well on my cleavage acne; it's practically gone now except for a little left over pigmentation!

Bra Sizing
toridcxNovember 14, 2015
I feel a little better about my boobs today. I went to go get sized for a wire-free bra at Nordstrom's because these bralettes aren't cutting it, especially now that I've regained sensation and sensitivity to cold in my nipples. I kind of anticipated that I would be about two cup sizes larger than my previous 30C/D and I was actually worried that they wouldn't have bras that fit me. So I explained my situation to a new bra fitter who brought in her manager to measure me and sure enough I'm a 30DDD (30E). They didn't have any wire-free bras in that size so I went home with 2 32DD bras, and found out that they do carry 30DDD soft cup bras...which means I have to go back and return my bras which is mildly irritating.
When I got home I did measurements of my own, and I'm really supposed to be wearing a 28F, but it's practically impossible to find soft bras in that size, so I just gave up and put another bralette back on. I ordered silicone pasties off of Amazon to wear until I can start wearing underwire bras again. How long do I have to wait to wear underwire bras if my incision is in the inframammary fold?
